A one-sided story destroys the credibility of it all. On the other hand, why do the victims fail to report abuse to relevant authorities? Let’s be a little mature guys. Failure to report means we accept it. Who is to blame? Not the guy

It only takes someone who has worked with these Afrikaans to appreciate how devlish and racist they are. Some of you are just backing him up because you have never been exposed to nkhanza za amfiti amenewa. FmB employees are better to explain. Though I have never met this racist, he belongs to the apartheid era for sure.

What is the difference between RACISM and TRIBALISM? Tribalism means someone hates someone because of his ethnical affiliations or background,while Racism means someone hates the other because of the colour of his/her skin.Amwenye and Whites both hate us and look down upon us because of our colour in our own country,is that fair?

Mistakes are made but how your boss talks to you when that happens is what matters. If a name like “Monkey” is used by your boss regardless of what has happened then it is off side. I saw a junior kicking his boss because he used bad language on him and several employees cheered including myself and never bothered to rescue the boss. He was a local boss, so why bother with foreigner? This is a lesson that we need to form our own companies through shareholding and avoid the so called expatriates flooding the country being brought by investors.… Read more »

Guys start you own bank. Malawians, you expect to be employees and be a free person. Work up. Work is slavery.

Most Indians owning shops are worst. Many malawi labourers just suffer in silence

Frankly speaking Kobus Louw is the worst expatriate in terms of racism as far as my experience as an FMB customer is concerned. If the government is indeed serious about development of local businesses, this guy MUST pack up and go immediately.

MCTU, ACB, Malawi Police Service & concerned NGOs pick it up from there now other than later.
